angie you need to find some second tier players to support when Andy not playing. Dimitrov is probably my number one second fiddle now. But I can usually find someone to support in a match even if it's only some weird tactical support (or opposition) with reference to Andy. And it's less emotionally draining too! Just looking on the bright side - not that there's any atp tennis to watch this week anyway just when I'm at home.

I agree Ruthie. I can watch these players and take in what's going on without going through the emotional wringer, although I can still get quite excited. Dimi is one of my faves too, as are Delpo and Nishiori, and also I've been taking an interest in Nadal's comeback although I really don't care for him much.

Isn't Marseille being televised? It's on this week so I'd have though it would be on Sky or Eurosport. It's certainly being livestreamed.

I know Ruthie, I do watch other tennis players sometime , I especially enjoyed fed getting pumped out of Rotterdam last week but I just love the adrenalin rush of Andy's matches because I so want him to win! Although sometimes ( a lot of the time) I think my old ticker can't take much more of this !! Lol, or I find myself running for the vodka bottle to calm my nerves......

In the absence of Andy, I love Dimitrov. I love his game. I'm definitely going to be following his career with interest. Other than that, I'll watch Delpo, Ferrer, and a bunch of the others. To be fair there are only a few on the men's side that I won't watch. I'll even watch Federer at a push, but I'd never support him lol.

The difficulty for me is when it isn't on TV. I can only sit and watch a livestream on the PC for so long, whereas with the TV I can still do stuff, have meals etc, and watch at the same time. I can't justify one of those internet TV's just to solve my problem lol.

Eurosport is showing the WTA in Dubai at the moment. Sky is presumably not showing any tennis until the ATP in Dubai, which I will watch.
